unpopular even the labor which was traditionally i would a sort of more left leaning although zionist party is today calling itself the center and totally supporting the war so we're having i think everyone in israel is now very clear on being zionists and being and supporting the government line and there is very little i would say deeper critique of. the zionism i think that's really the core of the problem is do we believe that we have exclusive rights to lead to do we want to live with other people who are also from there or do we want to live exclusively as jews in our own state and i think that only once we really kind of just mantle that idea and and critique it and. a state for all for this is where everyone lives in equality and when there is a separation of religion of church and state then. then the situation will be able to change. in america we are indoctrinated from a very young age about the propaganda you know american imperialism across the road of course it is definitely different there you guys are all forced to join the military i'm sure there's a lot of militaristic. id
